slower and fuller outside off, he fetches the slog across the line and skews it up towards Henriques who takes that skier at deep square leg with the ropes inches behind him. Fourth loss in six games for RCB
SRH vs RCB, 27th match at Hyderabad, Apr 30 2016 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Thanks for joining us on the coverage. Hope you enjoyed it. We didn't have a bad game, did we? To think of it, the forecast wasn't great and we were all expecting a truncated shootout. Hope tomorrow's double-header is thrilling. Until then, it's goodbye from all of us here. Cheers!
David Warner is the Player of the Match for his 50-ball 92. "I'm over the moon with that win. You never know what a good total is, especially when you're playing a star-studded line-up like RCB. Williamson and I set out to try and get to 100 without losing a wicket. It was fantastic for him to come in and play the way he did. He played the anchor role to take the pressure off me. Moises was fantastic in the end. He' coming in really handy for us."
Moin: "By when Yuvraj is expected to return?" May 5
Nakul: "Kohli mentioned Kane gave David ample support! Did he mean Kane Richardson, cos he gave more support than Williamson" Cheeky, very cheeky. Haha
12:40am 'Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go Orange Army' blares in full volume at the Raiv Gandhi International Stadium. Why not, this has been an excellent performance.To come back in the way they have after a deflating loss earlier in the week has to be special. Their captain David Warner set the pace with a fearsome 92 to give them a total close to 200. Kohli endured a rare failure, but Rahul and De Villiers, reprieved twice, kept RCB in the hunt in the first 10 overs, before SRH bounced back. Once de Villiers and Watson fell quickly, the game was closed out well superbly by the home team.
Sunrisers aren't always talked about as favourites, but quietly they've moved up to No. 4 and look really dangerous. Can't imagine how formidable they will be once Yuvraj Singh is back
Virat Kohli: We weren't good enough on the night. Sunrisers recovered early after Shikhar's loss. Warner was fantastic, and Kane Williamso gave him able support. Once again, our execution with the ball was poor. When Warner got out, I thought we could restrict them to 175. I thought 195 was a little too much. I'm not worried about the batting bit, it's the bowling we need to get better at.
banged in short and he's slapped that into the deep midwicket boundary. Doesn't matter, really
once again, bowls it full and outside off, Jadhav can't connect the heave, squeezed to long-off
All over by the shouting
pulled to deep square leg
walks across to scoop, but Bhuvneshwar bowled it too full and just outside off again, he missed
couldn't have asked for a better delivery first up, perfect wide yorker outside off, Rasool misses the squeeze over point
Bhuvneshwar with the final over
excellent follow-up delivery, floats it full and straight across the batsman, who can't get underneath the wild swing
he's connected this time! Mustafizur gets the yorker wrong, and the ball sails into the deep midwicket boundary. He swung through cleanly this time
steps out and slices a full toss down to third man
once again through with his swipe over midwicket even before the ball got to him, Ojha fumbles while collecting it on the bounce, they get a bye
steps out, takes it on the full and slaps it towards Warner at wide long-off
swings across the line, the ball rolls off the toe-end in the opposite direction, towards point
wristy flick to midwicket, a direct hit by Hooda at the bowler's end and Rasool would have been walking back to the dugout
yorker-length delivery, he somehow manages to squeeze that behind square on the leg side and comes back for the second
short ball hurries onto Jadhav as he looks to pull, bunts it to midwicket off the top half of the bat
low full toss that tails away from the off stump, Jadhav misses a swing across the line. In trying to make contact with the ball, he was more than a couple of paces outside he crease. The umpires wanted to check if the bottom edge hit the turf before lobbing to the wicketkeeper. It clearly did. The pace of the ball was a giveaway, but umpires are always cautious these days.
Henriques has tipped it over the ropes at deep midwicket. Is there life in this game yet? Too full, Jadhav whips it and gets enough to clear the ropes. Didn't look like it was off the middle astonishingly
strikes with his first delivery. It was a waist-high full toss again, right into Baby's swinging arc, he swung, but got the ball towards the maker's name, which meant Dhawan had considerable distance to run in from long-on. He did well to take a comfortable catch.
Nehra is back
full toss outside off, driven down the ground to Warner who misfields on the slide to give away an extra run
yorker-length delivery angled into middle, squeezed to long-on
Over 20 • RCB 179/6
